>> Of course he had choices. One day, the Dems will have choices. You might not like what they choose. I won't like what they choose, cuz the R's will do it back to us next time, but I won't protest too much.

I have no doubt that Republicans will, one day, pay for it, and the Kavanaugh hearing was the first piece of that repayment. But the Republicans were well within their prerogative in the advise and consent function. And I have no doubt a Chuck Schumer in the same position would have done precisely the same thing.

You really don't want to have a pissing contest about which party is more evil.
